The globalization of companies is the involvement of customers, producers,
suppliers, and other stakeholders in the global marketing process. Global marketing
therefore reflects the trend of firms selling products and services across many countries
around the world. Drawing on an incomparable breadth of international examples, Svend
Hollensen not only demonstrates how global marketing works, but also how it relates to
real decisions around the world.
Svend Hollensen is Associate Professor of International Marketing at
the University of Southern Denmark and has worked as a marketing consultant for several
international companies and organisations. His other Financial Times Prentice Hall books
include Marketing Management (2nd edition), published in 2010.
